Rust continues to top the charts as the most admired and desired language by developers, and in this post, we dive a little deeper into how (and why) Rust is stealing the hearts of developers around the world.
Yes, but all programmers have a love/hate relationship to their languages and toolchains. When I started off back in the 90:s, my prefereed language was Perl, it was amazing, but it was also a nightmare in some aspects… and unfortunately the larger the project the larger the nightmares. I assume Python is probably pretty much the same, even though I have avoided to work with dynamic languages in very large scale projects due to the support nightmares that comes with them.
So I assume the Rust cult, is based on the fact that the rust frustration comes a lot from the strictness of the language, but that becomes less of a problem the more you use it (since your skills improve) and at that point the strictness instead gives the reward of reliability and efficiency.
So, while dynamic languages may frustrate you the more you use it (since the projects grows and it is a nightmare to maintain), rust will instead reward you over time.
Coding is and always has been fad driven. The article admits Python and so on are more popular.
